Professional Cyclist Uses His Bike to Deliver Medicine
義大利自行車手為老年人送藥
Italian professional cyclist Davide Martinelli is using his bicycle to help deliver medicine during the coronavirus pandemic.
在新冠病毒大流行期間，義大利職業自行車手戴維德·馬丁內利正在騎車幫助運送藥物。
The service helps older people and others in Lodetto, Martinelli's hometown in the Lombardy area of northern Italy. The village does not have a drug store or a supermarket.
這項服務為義大利北部倫巴第地區洛代託的老年人和其他人提供幫助，洛代託是馬丁內利的故鄉。這座村莊沒有藥店或超市。
Martinelli makes a daily trip to the nearby town of Rovato to get supplies.
馬丁內利每天都會去附近的羅瓦託鎮取補給品。
He told The Associated Press, "I've got a bike and two legs in pretty good form, so riding 10 kilometers a day is no big deal. I wanted to help the people who always support me during the season. It's time to give back to them."
他告訴美聯社：「我有一輛自行車和兩條結實的腿，所以每天騎行10公裡沒什麼大不了。我想要幫助那些在賽季中一直支持我的人。現在是時候回報他們了。」
Martinelli joined a Facebook group called "Lodetto Solidale" where those in need can place their requests online, by phone or message.
馬丁內利加入了一個名為「洛代託協議」的臉書群組，有需要的人們可以通過電話或簡訊在線提交請求。
Martinelli receives his orders each night and plans out a path for the following day.
馬丁內利每晚會收到跑腿信息，並規劃出第二天的路線。
He said, "I go to the pharmacy and when I arrive outside I put on gloves and a mask. If I go for three or four people, there's less risk of contagion."
他說：「到藥房後，我會戴上手套和口罩再進店。如果我代替三四個人跑腿，那麼感染的風險就會小一些。」
About 1,500 people live in Lodetto. Everyone there knows the Martinelli name very well. Martinelli's father, Giuseppe, is one of the most successful team directors in the sport of cycling. He led teams with riders Marco Pantani and Vincenzo Nibali to win the Tour de France, one of the most well-known bicycling races.
大約有1500人居住在洛代託。當地的居民都知道馬丁內利的名字。馬丁內利的父親朱塞佩是自行車運動最成功的團隊總監之一。他帶領車隊的自行車手馬可·潘塔尼和文森佐·尼巴裡贏得了環法自行車賽，這是最著名的自行車比賽之一。
The elder Martinelli said that what his son is doing now is "a step above a victory for one of my athletes, because it's gratifying to him and to us because he's part of our family."
老馬丁內利表示，兒子現在所做的事情「比我的車手奪冠更勝一籌，因為這讓他和我們十分自豪，因為他是我們家庭的一員。」
Davide Martinelli is also part of his father's Astana team — the team that American cyclist Lance Armstrong rode for in 2009 when he came out of retirement.
小馬丁內利也是他父親領導的阿斯塔納車隊的一員，美國自行車手蘭斯·阿姆斯特朗2009年復出時曾效力於該車隊。
Giuseppe Martinelli said he had nothing to do with his son's desire to provide the service. But he did give his son some advice: "『Be careful. Be safe. Don't touch anyone. Use a mask and gloves when you enter the pharmacy.'"
老馬丁內利表示，兒子加入這項服務跟他沒有任何關係。但是他確實給了兒子一些建議：「小心點，注意安全，不要和任何人有肢體接觸。進入藥房後記得戴口罩和手套。」
Davide Martinelli likely still has his best racing years ahead of him. He is only 26-years-old. So far, he has won only two parts of small races in 2016. The bicycling service has brought him more recognition than anything else he has done on his bicycle.
小馬丁內利可能尚未達到他最佳的賽車生涯。他才26歲。截至目前，他僅在2016年的小型比賽中贏得個兩個賽段的勝利。騎自行車送貨帶來的認可度超過了其在自行車賽道上的成就。
Professional athletes were at first permitted to train outside during the nationwide lockdown in Italy. But the government has ordered them to remain home, too, after the Tokyo Olympics were delayed until 2021.
在義大利全國封鎖期間，起初允許職業運動員外出訓練。但在東京奧運會推遲到2021年之後，政府下令運動員也要待在家裡。
Davide Martinelli said, "I won't deny that having the chance to be out in the fresh air helps me relax. Sure, there's a risk of contagion when I enter the pharmacy, but you can't dwell on that. When you decide to do something you've got to do it without over-thinking it."
小馬丁內利表示：「我不否認有機會到外面呼吸新鮮空氣能讓我放鬆。當然，進入藥房時，可能會面臨感染的風險，但你不能猶猶豫豫。當下決心做某件事情時，就不要瞻前顧後。」
